Bad English is a new comedy podcast from SBS Audio about the lows of learning the world's most widely spoken and studied language. Ivan Aristeguieta hits back at the illogical rules and infuriating exceptions that govern the English language; the nuances that make the experience of learning English a misery for millions around the world, and leave even Anglophones scratching their heads.


Each episode of Bad English is like an audio support group for anyone wanting to vent their frustrations with learning English.

Join standup comedian Ivan Aristeguieta, canny English language teacher Ai-Lin Bhugun and guests including He Huang, Joe White, Deng Adut and more. They'll explore their English learning journeys and explode particular problems.

Listen to Bad English in the SBS Audio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The first episode in the seven-part series launches on Wednesday September 27, with episodes released weekly.
